TV Lessons: Raising Hope on Avoiding Probate Litigation

/ March 4, 2011

Okay, I admit.  I spend my free weekday evenings parsing through my Google Reader with the TV on in the background.  This week, two shows that I have never seen before caught my attention; not because of the witty and meaningful dialogue, but because words like “Probate,” “Lawyer,” and “Will” came up in a prime time show’s dialogue. In case you missed this episode of Raising Hope last week, here is the attention grabbing scene where Burt negotiates with his wife’s cousin, Delilah, to avoid litigating a probate issue. I’m not sure about the terms of their negotiation (they are somewhat risky), but at least they both recognize that probate litigation is not the answer.
